Overview
Viking v1.07 is a 'multi-protocol-internet-server' available from http://www.robtex.com. A vulnerability exists with this web server which allows a remote user to see any file on the server with read permissions enabled.
Description

Remote users can see any file on the server which is readable by the web server process, regardless of the file's location. |
